Any chance standard aluminum series 5 will be available in store on Friday? First time Apple Watch buyer and unfamiliar with demand/stock at launch.
They usually have more of those models than any other in my experience if you can’t manage a preorder.
 
Just cancelled my space gray aluminum for a 44mm space gray ss. Says delivery between 10/2-10/7. Considered titanium but delivery isn’t until mid November and I like the look of the ss better.
 
First time Apple Watch buyer. Always-on got me curious. If it works at all it should be useful.

note: I live in a big city and for a while it was scarce to see these. Now they are everywhere. Apple BT ear buds more so.
Be nice if they had black and colored BT buds. Not sure why, possibly advertisement as they are very noticeable.

Those white BT buds stand out so much, it's looks like those animations.

Nothing. It is just not possible since the introduction of LTE.

Thanks @M.Rizk ! These things always drive me crazy about Apple. My first Apple Watch only allowed me to pick a white band for the stainless watch. I'm not sure why they don't offer all case and band options for all models of watches.
 
Guys I'm pretty excited. I'm replacing my launch day, trusty aluminum 38mm series zero with a stainless steel 44mm series 5. I seriously can't wait. I have always coveted the stainless steel apple watches. I decided that since I easily enjoyed my series 0 for 5 years, that it would be ok to splurge on a stainless steel model. Especially if it lasts me just as long.

Ordered through AT&T on launch day and have a expected delivery date of Oct 7-14. Hopefully it arrive by the time they projected. I've ordered iPhones the same way through AT&T and have had deliveries delayed. Even canceled. Fingers crossed.
 
Guys i couldnt order a 44mm titanium but i reserved an iphone for pickup instore 8:00am 20 sep is there any chance i could buy an apple watch 5 titanium on launch day? In store while picking up my iphone?
 
My series 5 has made it to the US...

We ordered two series 5 stainless steel watches. I got the stainless steel black with black Milanese loop and my wife got the stainless steel silver with Alaskan sport loop. Both available for pickup on the 20th. I was wondering if I should have got titanium but now that black titanium is so far out (nov 12-18) I’ll just stick with my SBSS. Plus I really like that glossy finish.

We are upgrading from our Series 0 Stainless steel watches and looking forward to it!
 
Ordered my Silver Aluminum 40mm on Wednesday and I can see it in UPS MyChoice. Any chance changing the delivery to the nearest UPS store won’t delay it until the 21st?
 
N)
For those who haven't seen anything from UPS, my watch just showed up in the last 30 mins on my choice.


Thank you!!! My Hermès series 5 just showed up too!!!! It’s coming from Rialto,CA and I am in Los Angeles

I am more excited for my new watch than my iphone 11 pro max. I sold my Hermès series 4 last week and really miss it.

holy cow, that's a major upgrade. You'll think it's an entirely different product LOL
 
Does the UPS Store charge you anything with My Choice redirect? I've been charged around $5 for just shipping to one, without a mailbox there.
 
Do you guys where yours all day? I know off topic but curious. I wear mine to bed, only time I have it off is for it to charge while I’m doing stuff around the house before bed time.

Not sure about the store but I’ve never been charged anything to pick it up from the UPS CC (the big location that sorts and loads the trucks).

Also, having it dropped off at the store might delay your package by a day. Having it picked up at the CC allows same day pick up.
 
Still no tracking number when looking up my phone number or reference number. Have one for my phone, but not my watch. Been preparing to ship longer since like Thursday.

I ordered my watch from Amazon (44mm SS Space Black)

Does anyone know if Amazon is reliable for shipping these watches for arrival on launch day?

I asked their support and they said they won't ship it before the 20th (assuming you are ahead in the queue and there is enough stock left) so forget about launch day delivery. You might still get it earlier than if you ordered it through Apple though.

So essentially, you will get it Saturday if you are far enough up in the queue.

Does that sound like a correct assumption?

Glad you spoke to support
